My mom has never gone sailing before, so what an absolute treat this was to bring her on a Sunset Sail with me and my daughter. We enjoyed every single minute of it. It wasn't one of those Booze Cruises where everyone is loud and getting their fill of free booze, this one I was able to relax with my daughter, enjoy a drink and watch the sunset.
The crew mates were so friendly, drinks were top notch, and the Spirit of Aloha is in great shape to handle the open sea!
I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good and simple sunset cocktail sail!

My trip to Oahu was for my honey moon. Everything was amazing! After 2 weeks of tours, hikes, shopping, snorkeling & beach fun in the sun-we needed something quiet & romantic. So our last night on this beautiful island was spent on board the Navatek Sunset Dinner Cruise. I chose this cruise line because I am easily motion sick & was told the build of this ship helped prevent a lot of the swaying you experience. It was great! Food was good-hawaiian pork, chicken teriyaki, potatoes & veggies(you want fancy-up grade),drinks were yum-decently priced. The crew was very nice! The most important part of the ship was the observation decks-awsome!! Plenty of room for everyone. I got some beautiful pics & wonderful memories! & the Friday night fire works made a fabulous ending to a perfect evening at the end of an amazing trip!! I would rebook this cruise on every trip I made!

On August 19, I participated with my family of four. It was tough getting up early, but we started with the first malasada, and the day was packed with activities! When we saw wild dolphins in the water, the kids were so excited. We also spotted a sea turtle, but we were too busy with activities like paddleboarding and missed it. Next time, we'll focus on the dolphins and sea turtles (laughs). The staff were very kind, and we were extremely satisfied. Of course, I slept like a log on the bus ride back...
8月19日に家族4人で参加しました。
朝が早いので大変ですが、朝一のマラサダから始まり

I participated with my 18-year-old daughter. We had a blast together!
Since I have a fear of heights, we chose the lowest option, but when we actually jumped, it didn't feel that high because the ocean was below us. However, the boats looked small, so it must have been quite a height.
The beautiful blue ocean surrounded us in a 360-degree panorama, and beyond that, we could see the streets of Waikiki. It was amazing!
Out of six groups, only two were Japanese, and we were able to take pictures together, which was great. We met a couple, Mr. O and his wife, for the first time on this tour, but later we coincidentally ran into them twice in Waikiki. The second time was at the hotel laundry. It was exciting to experience such coincidences because we participated in this tour.
There were various encounters, and it was a lot of fun!
18歳の娘とい一緒に参加しました。ふたりで大はしゃぎ♪
高所恐怖症なので、一番低いのにしましたが、実際飛んでみると、下が海なのでそれほど高いとも感じず、でも、ボートが小さく見えるので、かなりの高さだったんでしょうね。
きれいな青い海が一面、360度パノラマ状態で、その向こうにワイキキの街並みが見えて、最高☆
6組のうち2組だけが日本人で、写真を取り合いでき、良かったです。そのOさんご夫婦とは、このツアーではじめてお会いしたのですが、その後、ワイキキで二回も偶然お会いしました。二回目は、ホテルのランドリー。そんな偶然に興奮することができたのも、このツアーに参加したから。
いろんな出会いがあり、楽しいですよ♪

I was really able to see it up close! If the water had been a bit clearer, I think it would have felt like I was in a dream world. Unfortunately, it was a bit cloudy, and I really regretted not borrowing a wetsuit. It was very cold.
My wife was feeling a bit unwell from the start, got motion sickness on the bus, and seemed quite uncomfortable on the boat, but she felt a little better once we got into the water. However, she still felt seasick while snorkeling in the cold water with the life jacket on.
But we did our best to enjoy ourselves and came back happy.
Since the duration is long, it might be tough if you're not feeling well.
Also, when the dolphins gather, you suddenly have to get into the water, so I recommend paying close attention to the instructions given on the bus ride there.
本当に間近に見れました!もう少し海の透明度が上がれば、夢の世界に行ったようだったと思います。あいにく、薄曇りでウエットスーツ借りなかったことをとても後悔しました。寒い寒い。
妻は出かけるときから少し体調不良で、行きのバスで酔ってしまい、船ではかなり辛そうだったのですが、海に入ると少しましに。しかし、寒さと浮き袋でシュノーケリング中の海の中でも波酔い。。
でも一生懸命楽しんで帰りました。
拘束時間が長いので、体調が悪い時は、つらいかもしれません。
あと、イルカが集まってきたら急に海に入るので、船に乗ったら、いや、行きのバスの中での説明をよく聞いておくことをおすすめします。

Diving into the sea in a submarine is something that rarely happens, so I had a very valuable experience.
Inside the submarine, we couldn't leave our seats, so it was disappointing that I couldn't see the shark that was apparently visible from the opposite window. However, the submarine rotated to allow us to see five different points from both windows, so I was able to enjoy watching sleeping sea turtles and beautiful fish swimming around the reefs.
The commentary on board was aimed at children, but I think it was enjoyable enough for adults as well. The relationship between sunlight underwater and the colors of the coral was very interesting.
After disembarking, I heard that we could see dolphins from the boat returning to the pier, but during the transition between trips, the boat rocked due to strong winds, and I got seasick, so I couldn't see them (TT).

It was my first visit to Sea Life Park in 20 years, and I felt a great sense of nostalgia seeing the unchanged scenery along the way. I had signed up for the Dolphin Encounter, but unfortunately, just before it started, my 2-year-old daughter began to cry loudly. I thought it would be best not to disturb everyone, so I canceled. At first, I was frustrated with my daughter's tantrum, but upon reflection, I realized it was my mistake to plan this for the morning after a long flight.
The staff handled the last-minute cancellation without any displeasure and quickly arranged a taxi for our return trip. Thank you very much. Thanks to their prompt assistance, we were able to relax at Waikiki Beach and the hotel pool before going shopping that day. My daughter regained her composure, and the rest of our itinerary went smoothly, allowing us to create wonderful memories of our trip before leaving Hawaii.
I thought we stumbled at the first event in Hawaii, but thanks to the staff, I am grateful that we were able to make enjoyable memories during our trip.
シーライフパークは、20ぶりの訪問となりましたが、往復路を含めて変わらぬ風景に、大変懐かしさを感じました。
ドルフィンエンカウンターを申し込みましたが、残念ながら開始直前に2歳の娘が大泣きをし始め、皆様に迷惑をかけてはいけないと思いキャンセルしました。
最初は、娘の我儘に腹が立ちましたが、よくよく考えれば長い空路の翌日の朝一番に計画をした私の間違いでした。
スタッフの皆様は、直前のキャンセルにいやな顔もせず、復路のタクシー手配まで速やかに対処いただきました。
有難うございました。
速やかに対処いただいたおかげで、その日は、ワイキキビーチやホテルのプールでゆっくりしたあと、ショッピングに参りました。娘も、平常を取り戻し、後々の行程は、上機嫌ですごし、楽しい旅の思い出を作りハワイを後にすることができました。
ハワイでの最初のイベントでつまずいたと思ったのですが、スタッフの皆様のおかげで、楽しい旅の思い出を作る事が出来たと感謝しております。

I participated at five months pregnant, of course, at my own risk.
At first, I signed up for the first session, but since it was fully booked, I was recommended to join the second session, which was also nearly full in the shuttle van. It seems to be quite popular. During the ride, a DVD was playing, but few people were watching, as most were sleeping.
When we arrived at the location, we borrowed costumes and danced in a nearby field since we were going to do hula dancing first. It was over in no time, but the explanations were clear and it was fun.
Up until this point, everyone, including the others, was energetic.
We boarded the boat and arrived at the dolphin point, but there were several other boats waiting, and we had to wait patiently for our turn. During that time, we saw a few pods of dolphins. They were spinning, and there were baby dolphins too. We waited for the guide's instructions before entering the water, but the pod quickly disappeared. We saw them several times from the boat, but only caught a glimpse of them in the water.
After that, we headed to the snorkeling point, but by this time, some people started to feel seasick. I had a bad feeling too, but I thought it would be better to snorkel than stay on the boat. Following the guide, we discovered a sea turtle, and I was thrilled to see a wild sea turtle. The fish were swimming gracefully, which was also amazing.
However, perhaps due to the worsening weather, I started to feel cold. I swam until I reached my limit but got back on the boat early, and afterwards, I curled up due to seasickness and the cold. More than half of the people around me, who had been energetic just moments ago, seemed to be feeling sick as well, and we took our handmade hamburgers and chips to go. When we got off the boat, it was really strange, but my seasickness suddenly disappeared, and I was munching on a hamburger in the car, while my husband looked really miserable, haha.
I didn't get to fulfill my dream of swimming with dolphins, but overall, it was a good experience. Motion sickness medication is a must.
妊娠5ヶ月での参加でした。勿論自己責任。
最初、一部を申し込んだのですが、満席の為二部を勧められそちらに参加しましたが、二部も送迎のバン?はほぼ満席状態でした。人気なのでしょう。
行きの社内でDVDが流れていましたが、見ている人は少なく、皆寝ていました。
現地に着くと、先にフラダンスをやるという事で傍の原っぱにて衣装を借りて皆で踊りました。あっという間でしたが説明もわかりやすく楽しかったです。
他の方達含め、元気が良いのはここまでです。
船に乗り、イルカポイントに到着するも他の船も何隻か待っていて自分達の番が来るのをひたすら待ちました。その間に何回かイルカの群れを見ました。スピンもしていたし、子供イルカも居ました。
ガイドさんの指示を待って海に入りましたが、群れはあっという間に行ってしまいました。船上では何度も見れましたが、海の中では一瞬見れただけでした。
この後、今度はシュノーケルポイントに向かいましたが、この辺りで船酔いする人が出てきて、自分もちょっと嫌な予感はしましたが、船上に居るよりは良いと思いシュノーケルしました。ガイドさんについていくとウミガメを発見、野生のウミガメには感動しました。魚も悠々と泳いでいて感動です。
しかし、雲行きがあまり良くなかったせいか体が冷えてきて、限界まで泳ぎましたが早めに船に上がり、その後は襲ってきた船酔いと寒さでずっとうずくまっていました。
さっきまで元気だった周りの方達も半分以上酔っていたようで、手作りハンバーガーもチップスもお持ち帰りしました。船を下りると、本当に不思議なことにケロっと船酔いが治り私は車内でハンバーガーを頬張っていましたが旦那さんは本当に辛そうでした 笑
イルカと泳ぐ夢は叶いませんでしたが、全体的に良い体験でした。 酔い止め必須です。

Last time, I signed up for a different tour, but I was just desperately swimming after dolphins and hardly saw any. With Dolphin You, the captain predicts the dolphins' movements and takes you to the right spots, so I was able to see the pods without chasing them around. Also, the life vests allow you to adjust the air yourself, so those confident in swimming can dive, which made it a lot of fun. My 8-year-old daughter, who is good at swimming, was crying because she wanted to use an adult vest instead of a child-sized one, and Shanti kindly comforted her and switched it to an adult vest. I was very satisfied as I was able to see many dolphins during all three tries. At the turtle point, we were allowed to snorkel slowly, and I was able to swim with 4 to 5 turtles for a long time. This tour is truly filled with consideration for making guests enjoy themselves, and I was moved by that. It was completely different from the previous dolphin tour and other tours, as I always felt that they prioritized the guests. The hamburgers were delicious, and trying hula dancing turned out to be surprisingly fun. If I want to encounter dolphins again next time, I will choose this tour. Thank you, Shanti, Kaina, Ila, and Steve!!
前回は別のツアーに申し込んだのですが、イルカを追いかけて必死に泳いでいるだけで、ほとんど姿をみられませんでした。ドルフィンユーの場合は、キャプテンがイルカの動きを予測してポイントに落としてくれるので、追いかけ回すことなくイルカの群れを見ることが出来ました。また、ライフベストも自分で空気の量を調整できるため、泳ぎに自信のある人は潜ったりすることも出来るので、とても楽しめました。泳ぎの得意な8歳の娘が子供用のベストでなく、大人用のものを使いたいと泣いていたところ、シャンティが優しく慰めてくれ、大人用のベストに替えてくれました。3回のトライすべてでたくさんのイルカを見ることが出来て大満足でした。ウミガメのポイントでもゆっくりとシュノーケルをさせてくれたので、4~5匹のウミガメとずっと泳いでいられました。このツアーは、本当にゲストを楽しませようという心遣いに溢れており、感激しました。前回のイルカツアーや、別のツアーとは全く違い、ゲストのことを第一に考えてくれていることを常に感じていました。ハンバーガーも美味しかったし、フラダンスもやってみると意外と楽しかったです。次回もイルカに遭いたくなったらこのツアーで行きます。シャンティ・カイナ・イラ・スティーブ、みんなありがとうね!!

I was able to meet both dolphins and turtles. For those who are new to snorkeling and experiences like this, the schedule is very well organized, making it enjoyable without getting boring, and I think you'll be very satisfied. If you have no resistance to getting into the water, I believe it's physically possible for children and people of a certain age. The staff were very accommodating and made the experience enjoyable.

Sailing off Waikiki at an incredible speed was refreshing! It was also great to enjoy snorkeling.
I was told, "The turtles are used to people and won't be scared to come close, but don't touch them," but I never expected they would come so close... There were always 3 to 4 turtles swimming nearby, and when they surfaced for air, they were so close that I could almost touch them—they're really big.
The sailing speed was fast, and it was quite bumpy, but as long as I looked out at the distance and enjoyed the wind, it was fine. I'm glad I chose one that fit my needs among the various catamaran sailing options. There were no other Japanese people, but I didn't feel particularly worried about that.
すごいスピードでワイキキ沖を爽快セイリング!シュノーケリングも楽しめてとても良かったです。
『カメは人になれてて怖がらないで近くにくるけど触っちゃダメ』と言ってたけど、あんなに近づいてくるとは思わなかった・・・。3~4匹のカメが常に近くをまわってたし、息継ぎに浮き上がってくると触れるくらい近くとにかくデカイ。
帆走スピードが速くて、結構揺れたけど、遠くをみるようにして風に当たって楽しく参加したら大丈夫でした。
いろんなカタマランセイリングがある中から、自分のニーズにあったのを選んでよかったです。日本人は誰もいなかったけど特に心配もないし。

At first, they were nervous, but when we returned to the hotel, they were excitedly talking about the show.
Compared to the Polynesian Cultural Center, it's smaller and has fewer attractions, but that allowed us to enjoy it at a more leisurely pace, which was nice.

Before the experience, I read the reviews thoroughly and took motion sickness medication, so I didn't get seasick.
Regarding the tips, I had read that they should be paid on-site, so when I saw a paper in a visible spot on the boat saying "Please tip" in Japanese, I thought, "Ah, just like the reviews mentioned!" and was able to enjoy the experience comfortably.
However, the costs were higher than I expected, which made me a bit nervous when I saw others going up, but once it was my turn, all fear disappeared, and I genuinely had a great time. The staff offers to take photos for $30 for those who want them, but we decided to take turns with a nearby group of Japanese tourists. It was truly moving, so I highly recommend you try it!
体験にあたり、こちらのクチコミをよく読んでからのぞんだこともあり、酔い止め薬も飲んで行ったので船酔いはしませんでした。
チップについても、実は現地で払うようだということも読んでから行ったので、船のよく見えるところに「チップをお願いします」ということが日本語で書かれた紙が貼られているのをみても「あっクチコミに書いてあったとおりだ!」と思うくらいで、気持ちよく楽しんでくることができました。
ただ、思っていた以上に本当に高くあがるので、他の方があがっているのを見て少し緊張しましたが、自分の番になれば全然恐怖心も吹き飛び、心の底から楽しかったです。カメラは、スタッフの方が希望者に30ドルで撮影してくれるのですが、私達は隣の日本人のグループとお互いに取り合うことにしました。本当に感動できるので、ぜひ体験してみてください!

When I handed the voucher to the staff at the meeting point on the day of the event, I was anxious about where to receive the DVD gift. However, there were many Japanese staff members in the park, so I was able to ask various questions about things I didn't understand or felt uncertain about.
When I confirmed about the DVD with the staff, they quickly brought me a copy of the voucher, and we were able to receive the DVD gift for the Dolphin Encounter we participated in, which became a wonderful keepsake. (You receive the DVD if you purchase even one photo, and the photo was $16.)
The Dolphin Encounter provided a valuable experience, and the dolphin show was quite lively, different from those in Japan. All the announcements were in English, but even the children who didn't understand English enjoyed watching it very much.
The entire park isn't very large, but we had a lot of fun throughout the day.

I still can't believe I got to swim with the dolphin teacher. Moreover, the turtle teacher also made an appearance, and it felt like a dream. The sounds of the dolphins are still fresh in my mind. I thought the children might be more afraid of the ocean, but they were lively, swimming around with the fish and were very excited.
I felt that the guides' attentiveness and the program's organization were of a very high level. It was truly exceptional.
As a point of reflection for our family for next time, since it gets very cold after coming out of the water, I think we should definitely bring something to wear and a change of clothes. We will participate again!

And by far, we both feel this is the prettiest spot on the whole island. It is quieter and really does have that "Old Hawaii" feel to it. The tour was excellent, the ranch is BEAUTIFUL, and the staff was friendly and very knowledgeable in answering every question we had.
Our first date was to the movie Jurassic Park too, so that was a really neat added benefit, to visit the place some scenes were actually filmed there! Would highly recommend this tour!

I participated with a friend. The view from the air was great, and we could see Diamond Head in its entirety. The wind felt nice, and it didn't feel too bumpy. Since we took off from the boat, I thought I wouldn't get wet today, but just then, we slowed down and I got splashed into the sea (laughs).
However, since we went out on a small boat that holds about a dozen people, it was quite rocky, and because we went in groups of 2-3, I think you would get really seasick if you don't take motion sickness medication while waiting.
Photos were $30, but not many people ordered them; instead, we took turns taking pictures with the others on board.
The staff were cheerful and fun, and I think this is a great activity for families. I want to do it again!
友達と2人で参加してきました。
空中では見晴らしがよく、ダイアモンドヘッドを一望出来ました。風が気持ちよく、あまり揺れている感じはしませんでした。ボートから飛び立つので、今日は濡れないな~と思った矢先、スピードを落として海に落っことされました(笑)
ただ、10数人乗りの小さな船で沖に出るので揺れが激しく、2~3人ずつ順番に行うので、酔い止めを飲んでおかないと待っている間にめちゃくちゃ酔うと思います。
写真は30ドルでしたがみんなあまり頼まずに、同乗している方達と写真を交代で取り合っていました。
スタッフの方も陽気で楽しく、家族連れにもってこいのアクティビティだと思いました。またやりたい!

It was a hotel near the shop, so I went there on my own time to participate. I have some experience, but since I was participating alone, I had an instructor with me, which made it easy to surf! We were able to use Kuhio Point, which is just a bit to the left of the shop, almost exclusively. During the lesson, they took photos, and later they sell a DVD with images of all participants for $30. At one point, the owner, Mr. Hands, came by and did some paddle surfing. Everyone was able to ride the waves relatively easily, and the staff were kind. I recommend this for anyone who wants to casually experience surfing!
ショップのそばのホテルだったので、自分で時間に出向き参加しました。
多少経験者ですが一人参加だったので、インストラクターについてもらい、安心してサーフィンできました!
ショップの少し左手のクヒオポイントをほぼ貸切で出来ます。
レッスン中写真を撮っていて、後で参加者全員の画像が入ったDVDを$30で売っています。
途中、オーナーのハンズ氏も来て、パドルサーフィンしてました。
みんな割りと簡単に波に乗れてましたし、スタッフも優しいです。
気楽にサーフィンを体験したい人にお勧めです!
